To Vote for O’Rourke in Delaware County
April Oursler, ’46, along with
about thirty other students from
Bryn and
Swarthmore, has been working two
afternoons a week for the O’Rourke
campaign in Delaware County.
Running on the Democratic ticket,
Vernon O’Rourke, Professor of
Political Science at Swarthmore,
has organized the “V for Vernon”
campaign in an attempt to smash
the Republican McGuire machine.
As April said, with astonishment,
there really is a machine. This
was forcibly brought home to her
when her campaign talk was re-
ceived by one man with the un-
answerable comment, “Thank you,
but I’m a machine man myself.”
This . incident apparently made
more impression than the regular
lectures on the Republican machine
given to the students before they
started campaigning.
The workers went over to Ches-
ter to see about registering. There
they discovered that no one could
tell them where Democratic head-
quarters were. When finally lo-
cated, Democratic headquarters
WHAT TO DO
A representative from the Ex-
perimental Towing Tank Division
of the Stevens Institute of Tech- |
nology in Hoboken will be here at
Bryn Mawr Saturday morning for
interviews. There is a great de-
mand for people to test models for
the Navy, for the National Defense
Research Council, for companies
building vessels; to study the ma-
neuvers and characteristics of,
cruisers and destroyers, and to in-
vestigate their performance.
Test assistants, apparatus build-
ers, computers and analyzers of
test data are needed. Training in
math, laboratory work and physics
is necessary.

proved to be one dusty room in a
building in the factory district,
reached by an arduous journey up
an outside staircase. To April’s
relief, a change in location soon
followed.
Door-to-door visits disclosed the
fact that many. people had the*im-
pression that it was illegal to vote
the Democratic ticket. One poten-
tial Democrat, registered Republi-
can, told them it would be breaking
the law to vote for O’Rourke. As
a whole, registered Democrats have
not voted for years, April said.
All were extremely interested in
O’Rourke’s candidacy, and anxious
to hear more. :
A New York columnist gave the
student campaign an enthusiastic
write-up, but the crowning success
came when they persuaded Life
magazine to come down to take
pictures. As election day drew
near, the campaign closed with a
hectic attempt to get groups or-
ganized for registering, and, more
important, to get them to vote.

Mrs. Cameron, speaking on | Vichy

second prize $5, and there will be
an Honorable Mention.
There are no specific rules ex-
of France today is the growing
division between those who support
Vichy and those who do not wish a
German military victory in the
present war. This distinction was
not immediately clear in the days
following the fall of France.
In those days the masses of peo-
ple felt that they had been betrayed
and deserted by their leaders. In
the prevailing confusion, the Pe-
tain regime represented a natural
desire for order and_ security.
Many conservatives, who did not
wish German world victory, never-
theless turned to the new govern-
ment, hoping that France could re-
main neutral and gain time to set
her own house in order, With in-
ternal stability restored, they
could take adyantage of opportuni-
ties certain to develop in the course
of the war. Growing bitterness to-
ward England, strengthened by
events like the British ukjimatum
to the French fleet intensified this
feeling.
Now it is becoming increasingly
clear that the issues of this war
are world issues, cutting across
purely national lines. Since Laval
took over the government last
spring, and openly acknowledged
his German policy it has no longer
been possible to separate Vichy and
Germany,
world Fascism.
This change has added to the
growing resistance within France.
This resistance has been carried on
from the beginning by the working
